As part of the promotion for the launch of The Campaign for Wool, the Wool Marketing Board in the UK offered some free samples on a first come, first served basis and I was lucky enough to get a pack. The pack contained 6 different coloured wool samples but did not specify what breed they were from. The white and the pink were both around 27g/28g each and the green and brown were both around 17g each. The blue and the lilac I've already spun but forgot to weight them or take photos.
I spun them as singles and then plied the green and the brown together and the white and the pink together to make two barber pole yarns. When I spun the white, I added a bit of Angelina in Mother of Pearl colourway as I spun. The green/brown yarn is 38g/60m and about a Double Knit weight. The pink/white yarn is 55g/71m and about a worsted weight yarn.
